From: Pet Miclucka
Artist: Pearl Jam
Song: All or None
From the album "Riot Act"

I love this song and have been waiting for a tab to come along for a while.  And then I just 
stumbled over what 
i  think is somewhat acurate.  I just hope this gets the ball rolling for a better tab.

	I'm rather torn between two points of view. I'm not quite sure it's aimed at Bush. Bush would never confess that he's a shaved monkey in a suit, while the organ grinder plays on and that the whole Iraq thing was about Oil not about justice. So I think that paints that out of the picture. I definitely think it's about a relationship, but in what capacity I'm not quite sure. It could be friends and family or be the end of love. The music is very introspective, and I think he's almost blaming himself for everything going wrong. I think he's trying to sort things out by telling her the truth, that he's not feeling as much as he once did (The selfless confession - which I'm not convinced is that selfless, as obviously he wants to sort things out and that would benefit him as well) and it just starts yet another arguement because nobody likes being rejected and it's just making matters worse. He's also saying he can never please himself, in which he is just blaming himself yet again. The whole All Or None is that he doesn't want to be in this halflight - he wants it like it has been where they're all happy or not at all. Best song on Riot Act, dripping with emotion. The brushed drumming is wicked, totally subdued and fitting.

	I think Regenstone is on point here. To me also this is a song simply about a mans attempts to get his life together. He keeps failing to get organized. This song is not about war litteraly... remember Vedder is a poet so alot of his keywords are metaphorical. War is just the war within yourself to fight and have discipline. Hearing this song I am once again amazed with the purity of Vedder's empathy. Its one thing to place yourself in the mind of a war victim or something but its another thing to read the mind of someone in a very specific gap in society, with specific and complex emotions. And Vedder breaks them down so simplefied in this song. Better than people who are living it could ever explain it.

	This song reminds me of when i had this dream where for some reason i had to run, but i couldn't. I didn't have the strength. Maybe Eddie had the same dream too, and decided to write a song about it

	I agree with tom65. I don't think that this song is about any sort of relationship in particular, just life. And I also think the second verse, at least, has a purposeful subtext, tying in with the entire albums Anti-Bush sentiment.

No Picture Razzle Wanna Be	#5 by Razzle jester at Dec 4, 1993 at 12:56 PM EST
	this song sounds like someone with borderliner syndrom. All or none... acting on impulse .. making the same mistakes over and over and surrendering to yourself every single team... leading you back to war asin building up your life, your moral etcetera .... and going back the same way. amazing lyrics and music (mike's solo is of the purest kind of emotion)

No Picture CJ Wanna Be	#6 by CJ West at May 4, 1997 at 9:01 PM EST
	"to myself, i surrender to the one i'll never please" this was one of my favorite lines when i thought it was"to myself, i surrender to the one i'll never BE" this was a great line that i can relate to and i just found out like a week ago it wasnt i thnk eddie changes this line from please to be on the beneroya hall cd, listen to it

	I think this song is about a man who loves a girl, but she does not feel the same for him. He knows this but he loves her and tries to be with her anyway. He surrenders himself to her, but he knows the outcome. He knows that its a helpless situation, but he still tries. It's really a sad song.

No Picture Jarrett Lead Player	#8 by Jarrett Sandlin at May 3, 2005 at 11:53 AM EST
	This songs sums up the current situation with my ex gf- see I love her but she doesn't love me. I was treated badly by her but I still stuck by he because i truly loved her. I kept asking her to go out with me or i'd ask her to think bout it but she never did lol...:( anyways- it means that to me

No Picture Jesus Average	#9 by Jesus Christ at Jul 14, 2006 at 9:38 AM EST
	I gotta also agree with Regenstone. That's a really refreshing point of view I can really relate to. Taking a step back. What's going on here is truly great. You can really see the beauty in Eddie's lyrics, how people relate them to something that means something to them. Truly empathetic. Alright for Pearl Jam!

No Picture Matthew Average	#10 by Matthew Spencer at Aug 4, 2007 at 8:25 PM EST
	This song seems to follow Pearl Jam's fixation with troubled families. One family member is trying to fix things, but they keep spinning out of control. The other members don't see the problem. The situation seems so hopeless and he's been fighting for so long, he doesn't even know what he's working towards anymore. The selfless confession is when he tries to open up to the rest of his family, but it's so painful that it leads back to more fighting. To him, no matter how hard he tries or works things end up in the same place. All these things going on destroy his self-worth. If he can't get along with his family, what good is he? His struggle is internal, so only he knows he has given up.
